Hurricane Katrina provided clear evidence that these occurrences are both qualitatively and quantitatively different from other disasters. Recent tragedies, like the 2004 South Asia tsunami, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and resulting nuclear plant meltdown in Japan further illustrate that we are not prepared for such events. Written by top disaster scholars and practitioners, the book defines what constitutes a catastrophic event, outlining both the factors that can lead to catastrophes and the unique logistical, planning, and response challenges posed by them. Distinct from general disasters, these events are termed "catastrophic" due to the regional impact, impacts to logistics and infrastructure, the devastating effects on large-scale populations, and the ripple effects on regional and global economies. Preparedness and Response for Catastrophic Disasters examines why catastrophes must be approached differently. If governments, public administrators, and emergency management professionals are to succeed in protecting our populations, there must be consensus, decisiveness, and leadership in both the coordination and response. In addition, there must be a fundamental recognition that catastrophic events compromise the very infrastructure?public utilities, delivery of goods and service, schools, business functions, and government?that supports communities and upon which modern society is based. As such, the book explores how catastrophes can dramatically affect populations and addresses new, innovative, and fundamentally unique strategies communities can institute to better prepare populations for catastrophic events and their aftermath. 606 $aEmergency management 606 $aPreparedness$xGovernment policy 606 $aDisaster relief$xFinance 606 $aEmergency management$zUnited States 606 $aPreparedness$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aDisaster relief$zUnited States$xFinance 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmergency management. 615 0$aPreparedness$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aDisaster relief$xFinance. 615 0$aEmergency management 615 0$aPreparedness$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDisaster relief$xFinance. 676 $a363.34/7 702 $aBissell$b Rick. 702 $aJensen$b Steven 702 $aFeldman-Jensen$b Shirley 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467807803321 996 $aPreparedness and response for catastrophic disasters$92485271 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02840nam 2200625 450 001 9910464435903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8213-9909-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000088620 035 $a(EBL)1644028 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001108380 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11775171 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001108380 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11085800 035 $a(PQKB)11425287 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1644028 035 $a(DLC) 2014006262 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1644028 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10837871 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL577787 035 $a(OCoLC)871781525 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000088620 100 $a20140226h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe inverting pyramid $epension systems facing demographic challenges in Europe and Central Asia /$fAnita M.

With only 11 percent of the world's population, Europe spends about 60 percent of global outlays on social protection, largely in pensions. In many countries, pension rules have encouraged people to retire sooner, while enjoying longer lives. Payroll taxes on a continuously expanding contributory base have financed these benefits. This model of pension provision is now being severely tested as pension systems reach maturity, while the population is aging and the labor force is 410 0$aEurope and Central Asia Reports 606 $aPensions$zEurope 606 $aPensions$zAsia, Central 607 $aEurope$xPopulation 607 $aAsia, Central$xPopulation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPensions 615 0$aPensions 676 $a331.25/2094 701 $aSchwarz$b Anita Mahesh$f1957-$0865252 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464435903321 996 $aThe inverting pyramid$91931169 997 $aUNINA
